Question 1

Does Markdownly preserve chapter order from my EPUB?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Markdownly reads the EPUB's spine (reading order) and extracts chapters sequentially. Headings, paragraphs, and lists are converted to Markdown so the book's structure stays intact.

Question 2

How do I convert an EPUB for ChatGPT, Gemini, or Claude?

Accepted Answer

Upload your .epub file to Markdownly and click convert. You'll get clean Markdown in seconds that you can paste directly into any AI chatbot. No sign-up needed, no software to install.

Question 3

What happens to images and footnotes in my ebook?

Accepted Answer

Markdownly focuses on extracting the text content from your EPUB. Images and embedded media are not included. Footnotes and endnotes that are part of the text flow are preserved in the output.

Question 4

Is my EPUB data kept private?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Your file is encrypted during processing and permanently deleted immediately after conversion. Zero data retention — your ebooks are never stored, logged, or used for any other purpose.

Question 5

How large can my EPUB be?

Accepted Answer

Markdownly supports EPUB files up to 10 MB. Most ebooks — novels, technical manuals, research publications — are well within this limit.
